Secrets of Adulthood

This post was inspired by Gretchen Rubin's book and blog The Happiness Project. I think a couple of these are direct quotes from her SOAs. And I know a couple were inspired by things friends said to me. My thanks to all of the above.

You can't make everyone happy, no matter how hard you try.

Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around.

Multitasking doesn't really accomplish much more than doing things one at a time. And doing things one at a time is more pleasant.

People are not offended by what you write, they are challenged by it.

Think what you want.

Embarrassment is not fatal.

In the search for safety, you can't get 100% coverage.

Most of the time the only thing you can control is your attitude.
